Hi Guys,
So, I've been contacted by a dealership in perth offering to sell my car on consignment.. Agree to a minimum price I want, add their cream on top and sell the car..

Ive never heard of this before, although have heard of other items, but never cars. in principle I see the benefits for me, as the car is currently sitting in the garage doing nothing..

Whats people thoughts / opinions / facts on this... Before I consider it..

Cheers
Ashley

Whose the company?

Did this before. Got the agreed price.
I've also purchased a car that was being sold on consignment through dealer.
It can work.

You want to make sure of their credentials though. Make sure it's not a scam.

Does it matter?
Never the less, It's KS Motor Company..

Apparently it does. For instance, I wouldn't go with these two. Just pointing out that there is dodgy consignment sellers out there.

See if anything comes up re: interesting

'Consumer Protection told the Court that, in November 2010, the company had sold a vehicle on behalf of its owner at auction without a written consignment agreement being signed. Proceeds from the sale were deposited into the company’s general business account instead of a trust account. Both actions were in breach of the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act.'


'A few months later, Grant contacted the owner to say he had a buyer interested in purchasing the caravan for $40,000 and that $38,000 would be paid to the owner and $2000 would be retained by the company. This was agreed to, but the amount on the consignment contract was not varied.

In January, 2012, the caravan was sold to a buyer at the original price of $50,000 by way of a trade-in vehicle and finance, but Grant notified the owner that the caravan had been sold for $40,000.'

Of course it does, you break the law you take the consequences, doesn't matter the game......

Thanks chaps.
Hadn't thought of the old Abn search.

Like anything I suppose, if there's an opportunity to rip someone off, some people make a choice & seize on it, others are legit..

I know we have a few guys on here who work for different dealerships, any advice, thoughts?

Cheers again.

My biggest concern would be some slippery prick in a white shirt and black tie thrashing my car around after work or on weekends.

I sold my old 98 WRX through KS about 8-10 yearsd ago. Worked well but I was a little young back then and they did manage to push me down $1k on what we'd originally agreed to on the paperwork. Wasn't worth arguing over but wasn't entirely honest and fair on his part.

Otherwise it worked well.

Never knew they existed in Perth as I was chasing one a few years ago. Good to know now!
